Description

Letter in the handwriting of Efrayim b. Shemarya (fl. 1007–1055 CE). In Hebrew. Fragment (left side). This document is cited by Roni Shweka as an example of the potential of the Joins Suggestion algorithm to identify unrecognized documents (in the article 'וקרב אותם אחד אל אחד': זיהוי כתיבות יד וצירוף קטעי גניזה באמצעות מחשב). Remains unstudied. Might mostly consist of flattery and blessings for the addressee.
